The resent invention relates 4to'contain.- ers of t e type in which la separateband, or neck member, isA positioned 1n the upper member, may be positioned as a temporary closure after removal frompermanent con-A nection with the body."

Inthe ordinarycontamer of this general type, a flange of considerable [width is lett after lremoval .of the cover part, and this' langeengages a'considerable area. of the enterior of the collar when said part is positioned as-a temporaryclosure. v When the container is used for paint, or like 4sticky substances,` it has been found that'la-serious diiiculty arises, due tosuch Vcontents getting between ,the cover flange and collar,

-. thus rendering it difficult, if not impossible,

to remove the cover. l M

A principal objectof this invention 1s the provision of a container of the general type referred to in which the temporary, orv rel-closure member; will engage the collar only on a^sin le line of Contact, thus eliminating the di -culty-mcntioned. l,

Other objects and a'tlvautages of [the invention will be apparent as it is better underystood rom'the lfollowi l taken in connectionwit the accompanying description, which,

drawings, discloses a preferred embodiment n thereof.

Referring to the drawings,

broken away,v of r.azconta'inerembodying the l principles'of my-invention;

Y Fig. l2 'is an* enlarged detail section through-the -porti'onfo the Vupper part of the-container showingthe tearing strip re- :moved land. the cover member in separated relationship; and

The]4 top'olosure is formed with the usual ldouble seaming shoulder extending downward from said flange, which' shoulder fits tightly withrises'a body 21, provided with av permanentject to the ulty Appuaabnmea spul so, 192s.l lsei-aa N0. essere strip adapted to be torn away open the container: This stri as indicated at 2.7, w ereby the line of tear may be directed bak tothe lines 25 and 26, A'in caseit should'be deflected therefrom. A

and forcing the bead`32 outwardly, with re- -sultant bending ofthe body material. This,

f course, forms a bead 34 on the exterior of the can, which may be clinched u on said bead 32,:providing a liquidstight )oint be; tweenthe collar and body. ,This latterfeature is not claimed herein but in my coending-application Serial No.4 636,519, filed The upper edge ofthe collar 31 is Aalso beaded in the present instance, as shown at 35, to provide a convenient friction contact part for engagement by the severed cover, 'as a .temporary closure, 'as will later be described. In the illustrated construction this y y l bead or v bend 35 is the external friction ele.- Fig'ure 1 is'y ai. lside elevation, partially' ment of the can body.

It will be noted that lthe upper score line for engagement with the outer' side. of the 'collar 31. By reference to Fig. 2, it will be seen that the part 37 of the body which remains after. removal of the strip, is practically. al1 enclosed Within theseam 24.'. The

cover 23" has a shoulder 38v inwardly of the vseam 24, adapted to resti, upon the bead 35,- is. secured in place'by interfolding a flange and a vertical wall part 39 1s rovided about the periphery of depresse head portion 41, this wall part being somewhat tapered, asshown set-oli inward from..the'container wall, and adaptedto frictionall'y )engage -within the bead 35 ona single line oannular Contact.

Referring how u. rig. athe@ of the rbody blank employed may be clearly understood. The seam, throu hout the ter art of its length, is of t e intel-fol ed, or ock construction, but the material ofthe blanlr-is cut away at 42 and merely lapped over the opiosing edge, as shown at a3 in Fig. 1 in 't e area in which the is `forme Thisis for the urpose of facili? tatino' the bending of t e metal, whichv Awouldbe very diilicult with the thickn we: necessary for the lock seam. An auxiliary lock portio 44. is provided above the cut out area and beneath the tearing stri It will be understood that the portion of e 'bod above said strip is practically all interfol ed in the double'seam 24 and, therefore, a lock seam in this area is unnecessary. s It results from the above construction that provided having an end member formed with a depressed central portion set off inwardlyv from the wall of the container and producing an internal friction clomre element, and there is also provided5a body having means forming' an external friction element adapted to receive the friction closure element of the cover.
